Dr. Kaufmann’s professional journey is grounded in his upbringing on a farm in rural Wisconsin, where he developed a deep work ethic and a passion for building solutions that serve people. His first career in Prosthetics and Orthotics included work at Shriners Hospital and ultimately led him to found a manufacturing company that pioneered the field of Veterinary Prosthetics and Orthotics (VPO) in the early 2000s. For more than 20 years, he has led innovation in that space, combining engineering, biomechanics, and care for animals.
In 2016, Dr. Kaufmann entered the field of professional counseling, drawn by a persistent question shared by many of his clients and experienced in his own life: “What’s next?” His pursuit of that answer led him to earn his PhD in Leadership and Human Development, with a focus on transformational change, identity formation, and the intersection of neuroscience and behavioral health.
